On that occasion, Vucic pointed out that Serbia will probably start issuing passports made using cutting edge technology in two years, and he personally tested the latest technology for making passports and other documents.

Vucic spoke about the growth and development of Serbia, stressing that even in difficult conditions, the country is recording accelerated economic progress and is preparing for further development until 2030. He also said he is grateful to Germany, especially Chancellor Merz, for cooperation and the criticism that contributes to improvements.

Considering what he wanted to say to workers, journalists and members of the government, the president added:

"I want to say something to the workers, journalists, and to you in the government, since I will soon become a coach, let me teach you something - you can tell already in the 10th minute, that team cannot win a game. Let's see you with a little more energy. It's my job to tell the workers as well - you do not only represent yourself, but also Serbia. I am proud of the fact that Serbia helped with this investment."

The president then added a humorous comment:

"Except in basketball, we are also better (than Germany) regarding the public debt rate. They are better in about 2,000 things, and we are better in two, but let's fight to become better in 3, 4, 5. You have seen Josef (Muehlbauer) - incredible energy, he will live another 40 years, he lives for every new factory. He talked about Bavaria. He said: work, work and only work."

And Vucic urged all citizens to turn to hard work:

"I call on all our people to turn to that - only with hard work can we achieve anything."
